robert reich is a socialist. always has been. i have known him for years. he doesn't like some american companies maximize products by limiting compensation to workers and controlling their hiring. you don't have to work for them. reich wants guaranteed wages, tenure, all those things that happen' in socialistic countries. does president obama believe same things that dr. reich and mother jones magazine believes? the answer is maybe, possibly. but this president obama is far too smart to define himself as a socialist sympathizer, we have no hard data on which to base a definitive opinion. the president certainly wants to control economic outcomes. that's what income redistribution is. and that's a solid, socialist tenet. but so far mr. obama not seized assets. he has, however, taken over the medical care industry but congress gave him the authority to do that. he didn't do it by executive fiat. now i know many of you are going to write to me screaming, screaming in print that barack obama is a raving socialist. you might be right but you will never prove it
